and this is Winnie, a pug-beagle mix. For ten years, Winnie has been my ride or die girl, my best bud, always by my side. We have been places and done things I hadn’t known I would do. There is no plan, and ever since this Puggle came into my life, she has been a major influence. It may seem odd to place so much importance on a dog, but it seems that what makes me happy is what makes Winnie happy, too. If not for Winnie, I wouldn’t be a published author.
Cheers to many more years of fun, and adventures.
